that's what friends are for!

I don't know why, but I've only given my blog address to 2 of my friends (Y and E). I'm writing it for me and my munchkin. It's not that I don't want my friends and family to read it. Eventually, when my munchkin is here, I hope to use the blog as a way to keep those I don't see often, up to date on how amazing my daughter is. For now, however, I update it when I have the time. I don't really think about anyone else reading it so it's always a lovely surprise to find comments from other adopting parents who have somehow found me in cyberspace! Especially my Internet friend K in the Netherlands!!

So, imagine my surprise when I received a call from Y this afternoon saying that she saw my blog and wanted to help get me out of my funk. She wanted to know if I wanted to go shopping and to the movies. For a minute I thought it would be easier to stay home and veg. But then I decided that I wanted to get out. Well, we had such a fun day. First we went shopping for baby clothes at Macy's. She needed a gift for her brand new niece. I needed nothing, but of course my munchkin ended up with no less than 6 new outfits! Everything was on sale and I had a coupon so how could I not?! Then we went to see "27 Dresses." Predictable but cute and just what I was in the mood for. We had a fun celebrity sighting on the way out of the theater. We saw Patricia Wetig and Ken Olin. I've loved them both since "Thirtysomething." I still think he is sexy, but he's not aging as well as I imagined he would. Anyway, we finished the night having dinner with her fabulous hubby. I'm a lucky girl to have such amazing friends. Can't wait for my munchkin to meet her Auntie Y!
